This was the result of a conversation where we did not want to confuse the user with a changing shape of returns given options.\n\nFor `morph`, I do think it is fast enough to recompute the diff/morph using the `apply` since the only real roadblock to computation time is refining. I.e. once you do `morph_params, diff_table = morph(..., get_diff=False)`, you can just insert the `morph_params` into the new call `_, morph_table = morph(..., **morph_params, get_diff=True, apply=True)` to quickly obtain the morph.\n\nAs such, #237 will maintain the either or return until after we have this discussion.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Sparks29032","@type":"Person","name":"Sparks29032"},"datePublished":"2025-07-12T15:13:42.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/238/diffpy.morph/issues/238"}
